Description
With India’s spectacular moon landing, the nation confidently marches towards a five trillion-dollar economy, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) in high-growth sectors such as high tech engineering (ie, electric vehicles, semiconductors, defence), large scale infrastructure projects, as well as new age sectors such as Fintech, Edtech, Gaming, Agritech, Cleantech and financial services. India continues to liberalise its policies and relax administrative regulations for foreign investors. It has also implemented several legal reforms with the introduction of legislation such as the 2016 Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, the 2023 Digital Personal Data Protection Act, the 2023 Telecommunication Act, the 2023 Mediation Act and the yet to be enforced December 2023 enactments modernising India’s criminal law legislation – all adding to make India a hot investment destination.
